Addicted to War

[WE1]

Your lights are on, but Cheney's not home
Your mind is blown its not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another disaster is what it takes

You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, life is cheap
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
winning another election is what you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh
yeah



Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to war

You see the signs, but you can't read
all you care about is corporate greed
You heart beats in double time
because you got more bombing on your mind

You can't be saved
War is all you crave
Then you say its the conserative way



Gonna have to face it, you're addicted to war

Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
Might as well face it, you're addicted to war
Might as well face it, you're addicted to war

Peace WE,


man that was good! but it sounds more like a song though! what is the name of it? it sounds good. if its a poem, man you got a 10 out of 10 in m book! groovy man!

[WE1]

The melody was in my head;so I wrote the song last saturday night in about three minutes borrowing some lyrics from Robert Palmers "Addicted to Love".




Addicted To Love


Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

[break]

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
You're heart sweats, your teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Peace WE,


i think i have heard that song before. in 2 weeks i will have my old girl home and see just what she needs. :) and when i get enough money & get her running well i am going to take her to meet you :) she would love to stretch her legs. not on the interstate but hightway. i can take highway anywhere still and thats what the old girl will get. she is beautiful for a auto. as if the person who designed the 57 Chevy tried to make it resembel there wife! beautiful machines! when she is home i will rest a little easier. i am paranoid about the dealership selling the car to someone else.

Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
Marching to the fields of Concord?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with a musket in his hand,
Marching to the Concord war, hey marching to the Concord war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Gettysburg?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with a flintlock in his hand,
Marching to the Gettysburg war, hey marching to the Gettysburg war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what's that you see
Marching to the fields of Dunkirk?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with a carbine in his hand,
Marching to the Dunkirk war, hey marching to the Dunkirk war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Korea?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M1 in his hand,
Marching to the Korean war, hey marching to the Korean war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Vietnam?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with an M15,
Marching to the Vietnam war, hey marching to the Vietnam war.


Hey, look yonder, tell me what you see
Marching to the fields of Birmingham?
It looks like Handsome Johnny with his hand rolled in a fist,
Marching to the Birmingham war, hey marching to the Birmingham war.


Hey, it's a long hard road, it's a long hard road,
It's a long hard road, before we'll be free.


Hey, what's the use of singing this song, some of you are not even listening.
Tell me what it is we've got to do: wait for our fields to start glistening,
Wait for the bullets to start whistling.
Here comes a hydrogen bomb, here comes a guided missile,
Here comes a hydrogen bomb: I can almost hear its whistle.

R.HavensI just wanted to hear it again.

[luvndrumn]

Love is but the song we sing,
And fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Know the dove is on the wing
And you need not know why.

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now.

Some will come and some will go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass.

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now.

If you hear the song I sing,
You must understand {listen}
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command.

C'mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev'rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!
